Understanding Sulcoflex DUET Lens Exchange

The Sulcoflex DUET Lens Exchange involves the insertion of a supplementary lens in front of an existing intraocular lens. This piggyback lens is designed to work in harmony with the primary lens, fine-tuning the overall refractive power of the eye. 

The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia and takes about 15-20 minutes per eye.

Various Sulcoflex DUET lens options are available, including monofocal, toric, and multifocal designs, allowing for customised correction of refractive errors and presbyopia.
